Eriksson fights through to points finish whilst puncture knocks Buemi out of contention during Round 10 in Monaco

A race full of drama resulted in another points finish for Joel Eriksson during his debut weekend around the Monte Carlo streets. Sebastien Buemi looked strong for another excellent comeback before contact from another driver caused a puncture, putting him way behind the field.

Both drivers struggled to find the pace in the cars during qualifying, putting them both on the back foot for the race. However, both raced hard throughout to put themselves in a fighting chance. Ultimately a puncture ended Buemi’s hunt for redemption and he finished in P17. Eriksson meanwhile opted for a late Attack Mode strategy which enabled the Swedish driver to propel himself and his #14 car into P8 at the finish.

The team now have a five-week gap until Round 11 where Formula E returns to Sanya on June 20.


QUALIFYING

It was unfortunately a qualifying session to forget for both drivers, with neither car able to set a lap time quick enough to progress through to the duels. Eriksson classified in P16 overall, with Buemi just behind in P17.


RACE

The 28 lap E-Prix saw Buemi make an impact in the opening laps, working his way up to P14 by Lap 2, avoiding any early drama. Eriksson held his position in the initial laps, before taking his first Attack Mode on Lap 7, quickly followed by Buemi activating his four minutes the next lap.

After the first Attack Mode expired, Buemi was in P11 with Eriksson P14. Buemi was able to narrowly avoid a DNF after Max Gunther hit into the side of him at the Fairmont Hairpin. The Swiss driver then took his second Attack Mode, which was timed perfectly to position himself into the top five, but then disaster struck when contact from behind caused a puncture and put him out of contention.

It was all down to Eriksson to bring home the points, which he successfully did after a strong final Attack Mode stint, which put him up to P8, despite missing out on using the full allocation after a brief Full Course Yellow period.

Overall, a mixed result with much more potential for both drivers to score more. But, the team take plenty of positives forward to analyse and know the areas which need improvement heading into the final seven races of Season 12.

Monaco Fightback Delivers Double Points Finish

Envision Racing bring home double points in Round 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, with Sebastien Buemi charging through from P18 to P5 and Joel Eriksson finishing P6

A packed crowd witnessed another spectacular Monaco E-Prix, with plenty of overtaking – particularly from Buemi who overcame a difficult qualifying session leaving him down in P18 and working his way up to P5 at the chequered flag.

Eriksson embarked on his first ever race day on the streets in Monaco and certainly delivered. An impressive qualifying saw him line up P7 and he kept his elbows out to finish just behind his teammate Buemi in P6.

Both drivers are hungry for more tomorrow during Round 10 to keep the momentum going and improve in the areas which they missed out on today.


QUALIFYING

A mixed session for the Envision Racing duo throughout qualifying. A disappointing start in Group A for Buemi, after initially sitting in P5 after the first set of push laps, he was shuffled down the order to P8 in the group. To make matters worse, a 3-place grid penalty was applied post-session for impeding another car – dropping the Swiss driver down to P18 on the grid.

Group B was much more positive – with Eriksson making it through to the dual stages after finishing P4 in the group. He was up against Jaguar TCS Racing’s Mitch Evans in the quarter final but missed out by just over two tenths of a second. However, P7 on the grid for Eriksson’s debut in Monaco is a very good effort.


THE RACE

Formula E once again delivered a very exciting race, with drama throughout the 29 lap E-Prix. A clean start and sensible opening laps saw both Eriksson and Buemi remain settled in their starting positions.

Lap 5 is where the race started to heat up, with a Safety Car due to contact between Nick Cassidy and Jake Dennis, boosting Buemi up two places. The racing commenced a lap later with drivers jostling for positions before the Pit Boost window opened.

Eriksson entered the pits on Lap 14 for his mandatory stop for 10% extra power and immediately activated his Attack Mode when rejoining the circuit to push forward. Buemi also opted for Attack Mode just a lap later to make up as much time as possible whilst his rivals were in the pits. This is where the #16 made his biggest impact during the race, moving himself up the order ahead of his Pit Boost, after which he emerged in P7, with teammate Erikkson just behind in P8.

An incident between Dan Ticktum and Antonio Felix da Costa allowed the Envision duo to capitalise on another position, however at this stage Buemi and his crew identified an error with the system and the lap count compared to the actual laps left. Without this, he would’ve had a strong chance of catching and passing the two cars just ahead. Despite this, it was still an incredible comeback, crossing the line in P6 and Eriksson in P7 – both moving up a spot to P5 and P6 following a penalty for Ticktum.

A strong haul of points for the team is a nice reward after a busy action-packed first race day in Monte Carlo. Tomorrow brings a new opportunity to add to this and end the weekend in Monaco on a high.

Monaco E-Prix Race Preview: Formula E returns to the historic streets of Monaco

Envision Racing head to The Principality for Round 9 & 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship

The team head back to the circuit which saw Sebastien Buemi claim victory last season and become the most successful driver in Formula E on the streets of Monaco, whilst also giving Envision Racing its’ second win in the historic motorsport venue.

For team-mate Joel Eriksson, it’ll be a special weekend for the Swedish driver, making his debut on the Monte Carlo circuit after several years attending in a reserve driver capacity. Both Eriksson and Buemi have had a solid start to Season 12, with the latter achieving a podium in Jeddah, and narrowly missing out during the last race in Berlin with a P4 finish. Eriksson has achieved several points finishing performances and achieved a career best qualifying result last time out in Berlin, lining up P4 on the grid.

The double-header in Monaco will kick-start the second half of the season, which will host a triple stint in Asia, before the all-electric series makes its’ season finale in London. With nine races left it’s all to play for and Monaco offers a big opportunity for the drivers and team to work their way up the championship standings.


THE CIRCUIT

La Rascasse, Casino Square and Grand Hotel Hairpin – few corners evoke motorsport legend than the winding streets that line the Monaco circuit. It’s steeped in motorsport tradition, and all-electric street racing is made for these streets.

For the last two seasons, the field has put on a stunning display around the Principality. There have been overtakes galore, battles right up the finish line and some spectacular passes in unexpected locations, passing within inches of each other up the hill at Beau Rivage.


TRACK RECORD

Two wins in three seasons leave Envision Racing with plenty of good memories in Monaco and hunger to build on that success.

Last season delivered a particularly strong result, following a difficult season, Buemi triumphed in the wet conditions from P8 on the grid to take the victory. The result became Buemi’s 14th win in Formula E, and first for Envision Racing.


WHAT OUR DRIVERS HAVE TO SAY:

Sebastien Buemi said: “I have a lot of special memories in Monaco, especially last season getting my first win with the team, and it’s always great coming back to such an iconic circuit. The racing in Formula E is always exciting and unpredictable, and it’s even more so in Monaco, with plenty of overtaking opportunity. We’ve made a lot of progress this season, and we’ll be giving it everything we can to deliver a strong result this weekend to continue that form.”

Joel Eriksson said: “I’m very excited to race in Monaco for the first time in my career. It is such a historic venue and one that I’ve dreamt of racing at for so many years. We showed strong pace last time out in Berlin, so we’re heading into the second half of the season with lots of motivation to build on this and bring home more good results.”

Successful end to weekend in Berlin with double points finish

A successful end to the weekend in Berlin following the disappointment of Round 7 with a double points finish for Envision Racing

Sebastien Buemi and Joel Eriksson were able to bring home a strong points haul from a hectic race in Berlin. Buemi finished P4, with Eriksson in P10, who rounded off a solid day after his best ever qualifying in Formula E.

The result concludes a long weekend under the sun in the Tempelhof and ultimately gives the team more confidence heading into Monaco in two weeks’ time on May 16 and 17.


QUALIFYING

A better performance all-round for the team in qualifying during Round 8. The margins were incredibly tight in Group A, and Buemi missed out by just 0.08 of a second to progress through to the duels. This result would see him start higher than in Round 7 in P14.

Eriksson had a fantastic session, finishing P2 in Group B and earning himself a spot in the next phase of qualifying. The quarter final saw the Swede up against the Lola Yamaha Abt of Zane Maloney, in which Eriksson won by two tenths of a second. The semi-final was up against Porsche driver Pascal Wehrlein, and despite the #14 putting in his best efforts, he wasn’t able to beat the former world champion and classified P4 overall.


THE RACE

The 37-lap race delivered chaos from start to finish. A very busy opening few laps saw Buemi immediately make his way up to P6, with Joel slotting into P7. What unfolded over the next 15 laps was Formula E excitement at its’ best – with drivers jostling for positions at almost every turn, every lap.

Both Envision Racing drivers were right in the mix and led the race at multiple times to keep themselves in contention for the front running positions. By Lap 19 Buemi had settled into P3 and Eriksson in P7, with the latter taking his first Attack Mode activation, using two of the eight allocated minutes.

Team-mate Buemi followed suit the next lap with two minutes of Attack Mode, and although the Swiss driver managed to get back up to P3, once the rest of the field used their extra boost in power, he had dropped back down to P14. But, with a six-minute activation left to use and the majority of the grid only have two minutes to play with, this allowed Buemi to get back into P4.

A brief Full Course Yellow was deployed on Lap 35 for debris on the circuit; however, this was soon cleared and racing got back underway for the final two laps. Buemi was able to comfortably hold onto P4 to bring home a solid haul of points, with Eriksson bringing home a double points finish in P10.

Overall, a mixed weekend with highs and lows, but ending with a positive race for the team and more points to add to the board as the Silverstone based squad prepare for the Monaco E-Prix in just two weeks’ time.

Challenging first race in Berlin for Envision Racing

A tough first race day for Envision Racing at Round 7 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship

The team arrived off the back of a six-week gap feeling motivated to continue off from a solid start to the season, and while the Free Practice sessions demonstrated competitive pace, the race ultimately concluded with no points.

Sebastien Buemi and Joel Eriksson pushed hard at the Tempelhof for the first race of the double-header but concluded the race in P12 and P16 respectively.

Tomorrow gives the drivers and team a new chance during Round 8, and with more hot temperatures expected, it’s set to be another challenging and exciting race.


QUALIFYING

It was a mixed qualifying session for the Envision Racing duo, with both Buemi and Eriksson in Group A for the first race of the double-header. The 10-minute session saw the majority of the pack following the same run plan, with multiple preparation laps and just two push laps to determine their starting position.

On Eriksson’s side, he was able to maximise the most out of himself and the car during the session, just missing out on the duels in P6, and classifying P12 overall.

Unfortunately for Buemi, there were some issues with his tyres being in the correct window which limited any chance of progressing – a disappointment after strong pace demonstrated during the Free Practice sessions. This resulted in Buemi lining up in P19 on the grid.


THE RACE

Both Envision Racing drivers had a clean start to the 39-lap race, holding their positions with the strategy to conserve energy to make progress later in the race.

This led to a calm opening half of the race for the two green machines, maintaining their places in 16th and 19th, before stopping for their mandatory Pit BOOST stops. Shortly after, Eriksson activated Attack Mode, while his team-mate Buemi was leaving it as late as possible for a late charge.

Eriksson climbed up to P10 but was shuffled down the order as the cars towards the rear of the field charged through, including Buemi, who was making strong progress from P19 up to P12 with his eyes set firmly on a points finish. Unfortunately, battery temperatures led to his power decreasing, and he was unable to make up the final positions at the chequered flag and ended his charge in P12. Eriksson crossed the line in P16.

A very disappointing end result for the team not to bring any points back from a hard-fought race, but the double-header weekend gives everyone a new chance with Round 8 tomorrow to come back from a tough race.

Berlin E-Prix Race Preview: Formula E is back for the German double-header

Envision Racing head to Berlin for Round 7 & 8 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship

Six weeks with no racing has given the Silverstone based team chance to review and analyse the first six rounds of Season 12 and ensure the team and drivers are as well prepared for the coming races as best as possible, starting with the Berlin E-Prix this weekend on May 2nd and 3rd.

It has been a strong start to the season, sitting in fourth place in the team standings following good performances from drivers Sebastien Buemi and Joel Eriksson. Buemi brought home the first podium of the season in Jeddah and has scored points at every event to date. Eriksson demonstrated his best performance in Miami, finishing P4 to bring a solid haul of points to the team.

Last time out in Madrid saw the third double-points finish of the 2025/26 season, giving the team plenty of motivation heading into the six-week gap to refine performance.


THE CIRCUIT

The unique circuit is set at the Tempelhof Airport, which features a very different surface type to what the team and drivers are used to, given it was designed for planes rather than all-electric single seaters.

The concrete slabs which make up the 15-turn race circuit create highly abrasive conditions and a lot of work for the teams, dealing with energy management, along with tyre wear, and adding in some hot temperatures.

Berlin is a special destination for Formula E – being the only location the series has visited every year since inception, hosted at the Tempelhof every year bar one.


TRACK RECORD

A mixed set of results last season in Berlin for the team, with points on Saturday followed by a disappointing double DNF on Sunday due to a technical issue on both cars.

However, Berlin has seen plenty of success for the team – most notably in Season 9, with Buemi securing a pole position and his team-mate at the time, Nick Cassidy, taking victory in the race.

Eriksson made his debut for Envision Racing during the Season 10 Berlin E-Prix as a one-off race on reserve driver duties. He impressed the team with a points finishing performance after a hectic race, which ultimately contributed to him earning his full-team seat for Season 12.


WHAT OUR DRIVERS HAVE TO SAY

Sebastien Buemi said: “I’m really looking forward to getting back racing with the team after a long gap since Madrid. We’ve been working hard to make sure the improvements we’ve seen so far this season continue and we keep maximising everything we can. Berlin has always delivered exciting races, and we’re expecting this year to be no different.”

Joel Eriksson said: “It’ll be great to head back to the circuit I had my first ever race with the team at. We had a good weekend last time here together, and I’m excited to be back in Berlin to build on my season so far.”

Electrifying the Future – Race Against Climate Change: LIVE Atlanta

Following an adrenaline-fuelled day on the track, in which partners and guests experienced the thrill of a hot-lap from Envision Racing’s Sebastien Buemi, the conversation in Atlanta shifted from speed to sustainability, as industry leaders gathered to tackle one of the defining challenges of our time: how to decarbonise the systems that keep the world moving.

The evening brought together experts from across energy, transport, and infrastructure to explore how electrification is reshaping some of the most complex and hard-to-abate sectors.

The panels were moderated by Dr. J. Rhett Mayor, Interim Chief Catalyst and Interim Associate Dean for Faculty & Graduate Student Affairs – an expert in thermal sciences, electro-mechanical machine design, and micro-manufacturing.

Powering the Transition: Rethinking the Grid

Rhett guided a technically rich discussion featuring:

  • Chris Shigas, who leads the ABB NASCAR Electrification Partnership and drives industry relationships across electrification and industrial motors
  • Charles Hume, Managing Director of Southwire Technology Ventures, with over 20 years’ experience spanning engineering, startups, and business development
  • Dr. Deepak Divan, Founder and CEO of GridTran and Professor Emeritus at Georgia Tech
  • Rory Comiskey, Senior Advisor, Trainer, TV Host, and Author at FutureworX

Together, the panel unpacked how the electricity grid is being fundamentally re-engineered to meet the dynamic demands of a decarbonising world.

The panellists highlighted how digitalisation and automation are enabling real-time optimisation, allowing operators to better balance supply and demand while integrating renewable energy at scale.

Battery storage was another focal point. Once primarily associated with electric vehicles, it is now emerging as a critical tool for grid stability, helping manage peak loads, smooth intermittent renewable generation, and improve resilience. Advances in power electronics and distributed energy systems are also opening the door to more flexible, responsive grid architectures.

Looking ahead, the panel emphasised that the future grid will not simply be bigger – it will be smarter. Optimisation, rather than expansion alone, will define high-performing systems, with distributed generation and intelligent controls reshaping how electricity is produced, shared, and consumed.

Reimagining Global Gateways: Ports and Airports

In the second panel, Rhett steered a wide-ranging discussion on the decarbonisation of global transport hubs.

Joining him were:

  • Dr. Quinta Nwanosike Warren, Ph.D., PE, PMP, Senior Director of Sustainability at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and a distinguished chemical engineer and energy leader
  • Colin Graves, Vice President of Innovation at ADM
  • Stephan Hardt, Sales Vice President for Ports and Airports at Southwire, focused on delivering electrical infrastructure solutions for large-scale transport hubs

The discussion explored how ports and airports are evolving into energy-intensive, digitally enabled systems that must balance operational efficiency with ambitious sustainability goals.

At the airport level, Quinta shared insights into how large-scale hubs are integrating renewable energy, expanding EV infrastructure, and deploying real-time energy monitoring to enhance both sustainability and resilience. These efforts reflect a broader shift toward treating airports not just as transit points, but as interconnected energy systems in their own right.

From an infrastructure perspective, Stephan Hardt highlighted the critical role of cabling, grid readiness, and electrical systems in enabling electrification at scale. Without these foundational upgrades, the transition simply cannot happen.

Meanwhile, Colin Graves brought the customer lens, outlining how global logistics and commodities players are rethinking supply chains to reduce emissions while maintaining speed and reliability. This requires not only technological innovation, but also closer collaboration across industries and value chains.

A key takeaway from the session was the growing alignment between business performance and climate impact. Electrification and efficiency are no longer viewed as competing priorities – they are increasingly intertwined, driving both resilience and long-term competitiveness.

Across both panels, one message stood out: the transition to a low-carbon future is no longer theoretical, it is actively underway.

With expert voices spanning grid innovation, infrastructure, and global logistics, the discussions underscored the importance of cross-sector collaboration in accelerating progress. The technologies exist, the strategies are emerging, and the momentum is building.

Envision Racing and Envision Energy India to plant over 500,000 mangroves in the Indian Sundarbans region

Envision Energy and Envision Racing, in partnership with EARTHDAY.ORG, have launched a new CSR initiative as part of their Sustainable Chain programme, combining fan engagement with meaningful climate action. The initiative will support nutrition, sanitation, and education for 18,000 women and 10,000 families.

London, [7 APRIL, 2026] – Envision Racing, Formula E team, has announced a new partnership with Envision Energy India and EARTHDAY.ORG, with a goal of planting 500,000 mangrove trees over the next five years in the Indian Sundarbans region.

The partnership forms part of the team’s Sustainable Chain programme, a Race Against Climate Change™ initiative, which pairs fan engagement with climate action. Fans are encouraged to make a pledge to reduce their carbon emissions which enables the team to commit to ground-breaking restoration projects.

Through this new initiative, Envision Racing will support Envision Energy India and EARTHDAY.ORG in helping to restore degraded areas of the Sundarbans Mangrove Forest in West Bengal, India while helping communities living on the frontline of the climate crisis.

Under the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) mandate, this major mangrove sapling plantation drive will improve the living standards of 18,000 women and 10,000 families over a five-year programme through targeted health, nutrition, sanitation and education initiatives.

The project builds on the team’s existing restoration work; the Sustainable Chain has already supported the planting of more than 250,000 mangrove trees in Madagascar.

Sylvain Filippi, Managing Director and CTO of Envision Racing, said:

“We are proud to support Envision Energy India and EARTHDAY.ORG with this incredible initiative. Our goal is to help drive direct action and to stimulate awareness and understanding of the challenges that this vibrant region faces. Through the Formula E platform, we can help bring the Sundarbans stories to a huge global audience.”

RPV Prasad, CEO of Envision Energy India, said:

“Mangrove restoration represents the kind of nature-based climate solution that can deliver impact at scale. By combining ecosystem restoration with public engagement through Envision Racing’s Sustainable Chain initiative, we have an opportunity to mobilise people around the world while supporting our local communities most affected by climate change. Partnerships like this demonstrate how technology, business and global audiences can work together to accelerate climate action with purpose.

Through Sustainable Chain, fans are invited to make a personal pledge to reduce their carbon footprint – such as reducing single-use plastics, choosing more sustainable travel or lowering household energy consumption – and invite others to do the same.

The programme focuses on the power of collective action to create meaningful change. Participants who join the Sustainable Chain receive updates on the restoration projects and environmental impact generated through the programme, alongside exclusive content from the team throughout the season.

The initiative reflects Envision Racing’s wider commitment to using its platform in the Formula E FIA World Championship to promote climate awareness and support tangible environmental action.

Located across India and Bangladesh, the Sundarbans is the world’s largest mangrove forest and one of the region’s most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including rising sea levels, coastal erosion and increasingly severe storms and cyclones. Local communities are suffering through reduced access to freshwater sources, nutrition and sanitation, as well as access to schools and employment.

Mangrove ecosystems play a critical role in protecting coastal communities and capturing carbon. They can store up to four times more carbon than terrestrial forests while also providing natural protection against the effects of climate change. Mangrove planting also provides an economic opportunity, stabilising incomes particularly for widows facing extreme economic and social vulnerability.

Double Points finish for Envision Racing at Madrid E-Prix

The inaugural Madrid E-Prix concluded successfully for the Envision Racing team, with Sebastien Buemi finishing P7 and Joel Eriksson in P10.

After a difficult qualifying session for both drivers, the team were able to execute a good strategy and bring home the second double-points finish of the season. This result is a positive race for both drivers before entering the 5-week gap ahead of Berlin.

Buemi did cross the line in P6, although was handed a time penalty for an incident with Jake Dennis, which dropped him to P7 in the final classification, but still brought home solid points.

The result adds more confidence to the team that the package is able to deliver good results on a variety of circuits and maintains Buemi’s record so far in Season 12 of points at every event.


QUALIFYING

The drivers faced challenging conditions during qualifying, with grey skies and drizzle not showing any sign of easing off. The wet weather changed the dynamic of qualifying, with the tyres being able to cope with multiple push laps, which wouldn’t have been possible in the dry with the extreme tyre degradation at this circuit.

Buemi took to the track in Group A, and his initial push laps were solid, placing him in the top four. However, the final laps were tricker, and the Swiss driver was not able to maintain his position in the order and slipped down to 7th. However, he ended the session feeling confident in the car ahead of the race.

Eriksson was up next in Group B, and despite his best efforts, wasn’t able to progress through to the duel stages of qualifying. He ended the group in P9.

These results would mean the duo would start P14 and P17 on the grid.


THE RACE

The 23-lap race was full of drama and excitement. Buemi made a good start, progressing up to P11 after the first two laps, with Eriksson maintaining his starting position. Both drivers managed their energy and kept their positions, before the Pit Boost window opened and the order started switching up.

Buemi pitted on Lap 12 to take his mandatory 30-second stop, with Erkisson following suit two laps later. Once all Pit Boost stops had been made, the drivers slotted into P4 and P15 – right in the mix.

On Lap 17 Buemi took his 6-minute Attack Mode to activate 350kw mode, this enabled him to work his way up to P2. With all the cars in the top six in Attack Mode at the same time, it led to intense and close racing between the drivers, especially when their respective Attack Mode activations ran out and they were back to 300kw power.

Meanwhile, Eriksson activated his Attack Mode on Lap 19 whilst in P14, which allowed him to close the gap to the top ten.

As Buemi’s Attack Mode ran out, he lost places to the cars immediately behind still with the extra power, slotting into P6. The #16 car did a great job of fending off Andretti Formula E’s Jake Dennis to hold onto the P6 finish at the line, however post-race discussions with the stewards deemed the defensive driving too aggressive, and a penalty was applied. P7 was the final result for Buemi.

Erkisson had an exciting final lap, clinching P10 right at the final corners to secure a double-points finish for the team and a solid haul of points as we enter a 5-week gap before the Berlin E-Prix on May 2nd & 3rd.
